I want to know if there exists any command line option or GUI tool (Ubuntu 11.10) so that I can measure the strength of wireless signal at a given location. I have a house where the wireless is not easily accessible at all corners I want to know at which corners or rooms the signal is weak.

On the command line you can use iwconfig and look for "Link Quality" and "Signal level" values.



When walking around with a netbook I often use this command which updates the output of iwconfig every second:



watch -n1 iwconfig
